- Wireddd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6if you run linux, you get an avi download by default
- jgreene777, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7you can use Super to convert those downloaded videos as well...

I also like VideoDownloader for Firefox for downloading the FLV files.

- oleeid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/ for free enconding. Takes almost any formats.
- DigDugDigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ffmpeg works nicely
- MrDarkSim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ook?
- Johannesrexx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No, Macs get the proprietary google video files (dot GVI files) when they click the download link. Google video player will play them but this is a proprietary format. Another one. Just what we don't need.
- polymorphist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no need for other methods...just use linux
- tehmoth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1only windows users get the google video download, the rest of us get avi downloads.
as for those videos that are not marked as downloadable, keepvid works fine. - milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or just go here and type in your youtube or google video link: http://keepvid.com/
Works pretty good. - Phoenixnf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Mediacoder is Cool. However, it is a little tacky at times as you have so many options, you do get lost.
- epheterson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1how about videodownloader.com, it even has a firefox extension. One click and you have 3 DL links ready..
- jane1210, on 02/28/2009, -0/+1i am using Moyea youtube flv downloader, It downloads fast with very high quality, and it's free! it can help you save and download off YouTube, Google Video, Hulu, Fox and more to your computer hard drive.
http://www.flv-to-video.com/youtube-flv-downloader - Orangutan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I've been using that AVI bookmarklet for months its really nice and efficient.
just make a bookmark and set this bit of javascript as the location
javascript:if(document.getElementById('macdownloadlink')!=null){window.location.href=document.getElementById('macdownloadlink')}else{alert('Go to Google Video to download videos as AVI.')}; - ChrisHentchel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1zzzZZZ old news, not really needed, Youtube videos can be downloaded as FLV and converted to anything, and as Digg.com knows Youtube > Google Video plus its done with a firefox extension, so I should win big digg points.
- cawpin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Videodownloader works great on Google Video and YouTube both.

http://www.flash-video-soft.com/mac-flv-converter/ - moyea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The format of google video is .flv, should use a flv to video converter to save google video to avi and any others.

enjoy
http://ecologicalnz.wordpress.com/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0all you have to do is change the file name. example. Duh .flv to Duh.avi and VOILA!
Put in to VLC player and watch///
If you looking to convert to put on Ipod or Archos or any portable Media Player/Mp3 device. Than you would have to convert. To mpeg2 overlay it with a DIVX coder and Virtual- Dub than i transfer to that said portable media player. I personally like to use Tmpeg Express as well especially for my MCE2005 content and google and Youtube files. I download them with Video Downloader add-on for FireFix 2.0 :)
Enjoy
Best place on the NEt
